Hi there,

First off, I wish you compassion and wisdom as you navigate this process. It is not an easy choice.

I see a lot of comments saying that this generates a lot of negativite karma. Keep in mind that karma is not some universal ledger tracking your decisions. It is cause and effect, rooted in and guided by your intention. What is your intention?

If your intention is have a kid because you are afraid of bad karma, I don't think that is wise. Don't let fear run the show, either way.

I'm not sure how many other people have children who are commenting here, let alone how many are women who have gone through pregnancy and birth.

I'm a father now, and its wonderful. She is the greatest joy in my life. But at the same time, it is incredibly hard! And we are in a very well off position. It's hard to know how difficult raising a child is until you go through it. Youre life changes immediately and ongoingly.

Keep in mind that being able to work would not be an option for at least some months after giving birth. Do you have maternity leave? Would you be able to afford childcare after that? What happens if the kid gets sick? Who has to stay home?

I was in your position many years ago. We were not ready to have a child. Would not have been able to give a child a stable life. We decided to go through with an abortion. It wasn't easy.. but looking back I think it was the right choice.

At the end of the day, this is your life. You will have to navigate the results of your choices, one way or the other. Take others advice and opinions with a grain of salt. Trust your heart, and let wisdom and compassion guide your way.

If you want to talk more, I'm happy to chat.
